Due to my continuing qrn problems at the home
qth, I took the opportunity to listen on the big 500 khz
transmit antenna at work ( no longer in use except as a reserve receive
antenna), today. Heard DF 2 PY at very good strength,
sending quite fast cw. The Hagenuk receiver at work (MALIN HEAD
RADIO),
does not use an S meter, the signal
sounded like a 5 3 9,
very good, full copy,
despite the relative high speed, which is faster than most station use with
normal morse , on the band.
I would have had no problems, having a full qso with Wolf,
pity I did not have a tx , to go back to him.
I'm still working on overcoming the qrn problem, now using
a
phasing unit, which I knocked up recently, also building a qrn
canceller by Derek , G3GRO, thanks again to Derek for
lthe
circuit diagram and info received this week, It all
help.
regards to all the LF
group
